Dead Men Tell No Tales: A Bizzy Devlin Cozy Mystery

by T.J. Costello

What’s worse for a professional photographer than poor lighting and family squabbles? A dog who finds dead bodies! Bizzy Devlin’s photography business is finally taking off. So when she agrees to photograph an extended family portrait on a nearby beach, she thinks it will be a simple day of fun, sun, and sand between her toes.

But she soon learns that wrangling bickering family members and dodging unruly kids, unleashed dogs, and the minefield of beachy messes will be the real challenge. And when Bizzy’s labradoodle unearths a body, her photo shoot officially becomes an unmitigated disaster.

Bizzy’s thankful to leave the mess behind, but when the prime suspect begs for her help, and Bizzy’s friend urges her on, she reluctantly takes up the case. Confronting the dysfunctional family and evading an irritated detective takes skill, and when Bizzy becomes a target herself, things get personal.

Can she dig up the truth? Join Bizzy and her doodle in the third book of the Bizzy Devlin Cozy Mystery series, Dead Men Tell No Tales.

The series just keeps getting better and better. More adventures from Bizzy, Jacko, Edy and my favorite, of course, Luigi in the small community of Pullen Pointe. As all Ms. Costello's books in this series the plot moves along nicely. The characters are endearing and well portrayed. And, to me most importantly, the conversations are smooth and unstilted. The stories can stand alone with none of those irritating cliff hangers. If you enjoy your cozies with humor and a little snark you're going to love this series.

I received a free ARC in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Bizzy is a portrait/pet photographer together. She was a former forensic photographer. A neighbor has hired her for a family photo. While waiting for one son to show, she goes to the beach where the younger members pull up the body of the missing son. Although there are a number of suspects, her neighbor is singled out as the killer. Bizzy is asked to help find the real killer. The story kept me entertained from start to finish.

I love this series!

This series is so good. Boy I hope Bizzy and Jacko get together because the belong together. This was another good mystery. TJ always gives red herrings so even though you might guess the mystery is in the why. Can't wait for the next book.

Bizzy and her buddies

This series is riveting. The characters are strong independent but a close community. The dog is cute but lacks personality. Looking forward to next in series. Think Bizzy should get more connected to the police department as a consultant.
